In Missouri the Democratic Legislature has tried
to wipe out the National Guard altogether by re-
fusing to make any appropriation for 1T. In this
State Governor Hill seems to be doing what he
can in tho same direction. His latest move Is to
promulgate an order that any person who can read
and writc and is abicbodied and Of good charac-
ter can demand admission TO membership in any
company or battery Of the National Guard. This
would soon break up a regiment like the Seventh,
for instance, and take away ali incentive to join
Men who are thrown much and so closely to-
gethcr must be socially agreeable. The National

A sample of the bogus economy of the last
Congress was the refusal to appropriate money
to sheath with copper the bottom of the new
steel vessels. This neglect insures fine crop
of barnacles on every boat. once in SIX months,
inevitably causes loss of speed and renders
necessary the docking of the vessel twice a
year. The first cost of the copper sheathing is
pretty heavy, but it pays IN the long run. If
the new vessels are to be really swift cruisers
this Improvement must be ordered.

THt5 country hss seen no such indus
tia! conflict as that which mas opened in
Chicago between the employers and the
wsgo.earners in the building trades. It ia
essentially q case OF diamond cut dia-
inond. The wage earners organized
against The employers, and welded the
weapon Of the strike. The employers Or
gauizs against the wage-earnera and
WELD the weapon Of the lockout. The
right OF the one is as unquestionsble as
the right OF the other. Neither method
is the rational way to settle business
question neither contributes to the public
welfare.
Organization amongenployes for otfense
and defense ia not new, but it never hes
been geen before on go comprehensive q
gcale, with go close attention to the mi.
nutest details or in 80 determined spirit.
Every approach seems to be guarded.
The wage esrners, too, appear to be reso'
lutte and atrong. The issue depends upon
the one question Of endurance. The
inertia OF the controversy are overshcd-
owed by the preparations for fight to
the death. Such clash will not be with
out good result, however costly it may be,
if it teach each side that the other has
rights and that it is better to recognize
these rights before resorting TO the violent
disturbance OF the strike or the lockout.
